Lisa Golightly (1979) is an artist living in Portland, Oregon. With a BFA in art, her initial focus was photography, the influence of which can be seen in her paintings. Her work revolves around memory and how snapshots shape, influence, change and even create memory. She works with acrylic and house paint, using found photos to create work that is both anonymous in nature but also very personal.
Several years ago she began incorporating pictures into her paintings. She was looking for a fun and unique way to display photos of her kids that reflected their personality and experiences. The name, in fact, is inspired by her daughter’s love of a bird she named Kiki, and for her imaginary friend Polly. Polly no longer visits their house as she once did, but she try to keep the spirit of childhood, wonder and imagination with her in Portland, Oregon studio.
